After a long day of Anatomy, the roommates and I decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner for no particular reason whatsoever. With that said, let me explain how the dinning experience played out. Located in one of the nicer shopping centers on Seven Mile Beach across the street from the beach and St. Matthew’ s Campus. As you walk in, customers are greeted buy a very nice decor and wine cellar. This brazilian steakhouse is set up buffet style but not like the typical buffet most Americans would be accustomed to. You seat yourself and are given a card with a red side and a green side. When you are hungry for meat you place the green side facing up and servers come around and serve you many different types of meat ranging from steak to lamb, chicken, veal, sausage, and pork. All of which are served table side. There is no limit to number of servings and each dinner is awarded a salad, fruit, sushi, and cheese buffet. I must say, I am no food critique but having worked in fine dinning for 4 years, I must say this was a very unique experience. Service was great, didn’t hurt that our server was easy on the eyes! haha but none-the-less it was another great night out with the roommates. If you are looking for a nice place on Island to take a date or  your family when they visit I would recommend other places first, with PRIME following quickly behind.

One way to de-stress and get my mind off of the books is to play some basketball. Today, on our day off, my roommates Micheal Edralin & Dino Ceckro have formed a 3 on 3 team for the 4th Semester White Coat fundraiser. Should be a very interesting since neither of us has played ball down here since 3rd semester. Our egos have gotten the best of us as we don’t want to leave the Island on loosing note. Mike and I went to shoot around last night just to remind our bodies that at one point in our lives we knew how to play the game. Not sure how many teams there will be, but we hope to be competitive. Dino hurt his ankle last night playing soccer with some of the guys from here and he’s the biggest man we got.

Anyway, It is currently 80 degrees and sunny and the roosters are up and doing what they do best, waking me up. I will post the results of our tournament later today hopefully along with some pics.

Here are so pictures of my teamates: Michael and Dino

Today, I did the unthinkable. I decided to pass on going to class and do self study at home. I know what you must be thinking, how can you skip a kaplan class. My rationalization starts with the mere fact the being behind is no fun, and trying to catch up is even worse. So I took the day off of class to sit home and watch the videos and teach myself and make sure I truly understand all the biochemical pathways and the disease they can cause when certain enzymes are deficient. With that said, I find my self sitting here updating the blog, adding music to my iPod after grabbing some Wendy’s for lunch. On the lunch note, the roommates and I decided to bring back some old school elementary school vibes back by packing our lunch and eating in school. Some fond memories for sure were dug up, such as my old lunch monitor Mrs. Smith who from what I remember was at least 350 lbs with heart issues and my last memory of her was her moving to Texas during my 5th grade year. Talk about reasons why I have probably developed sub-conciously such a high metabolism. Anyway, today is Friday and thank God! We have the day off tomorrow from class meaning Sunday its back to it and we start Anatomy. The positives are that Anatomy comes easy to me, and its a subject I enjoy from top to bottom. A dead science that keeps people alive, quite an ironic way to look at it but none the less. I look forward to reviewing it and using some of the extra time for catching up with Biochem. Well everyone, I am hoping to add a bunch more features to this blog when I find time to figure it out. Stay tuned.
